DevinCogger

Portland, OR, USA

Devin Cogger is a Portland-based visual artist currently exploring a studio practice in painting influenced by modes of biomorphic abstraction with surrealist tendencies. He produces electronic music compositions to accompany his digital illustration work. Playfully embracing a lens of science fiction, he describes the theme of his artwork as the artificial cultivation and study of nonexistent organisms. His paintings and music tracks read like terrariums—densely populated with orbicular and curvilinear forms, appearing to throb with a kind of squelching effervescence that squirms with restless oscillation and omnidirectional scuttling.
